When it comes to games, I talk with my guy friends about such thing as combat engines, graphics, plot and various gameplay mechanics.
Here, however, I can confess how I love using the protagonist in Assassin's Creed 2 as a beautiful Renaissance dress-up doll.
Who's the swankiest Florentine teenage contract killer in 15th Century Italy?
Ezio!
(Daaamn right!)
Why don't all games have a sequel set in Renaissance Italy? I find myself very forgiving about history mistakes because seriously, nnngh, embroidered doublets and dyed half-capes and ruffles like a swallow's flight and you even have the ability to customize the costume somewhat. In my hands Ezio Auditore da Firence is currently running around Italy in a fierce scarlet and saffron outfit. Now if only you had the ability to customize his hair so you wouldn't be exposed to that nineties' 'do in every cutscene (everytime he removes his hood I'm all "noooo Ezio!")
If I would complain about the estethics, it would be that I think it's a pity all of our valiant hero's fingers are intact. His forefather Altaïr rocked that nine-fingered look.
Bonus thing I don't think I'll discuss with my gaming friends in the immidiate future: Young Leonardo da Vinci is a little ball of sunshine and puppydogs and I might be seeking him out even when it's not strictly necessary for the plot.
